Hi,
I am looking for an application running on my Magician (VPA compact) that works as a local answering maschine. It should, when reception of course, be able to receive a call, play a prerecorded message and record the caller. From a technical point of you, there should not be any problem. But I could not find any application providing this service.
Maybe one of you global guys heard something?

try using search it's been asked many many times before
Hi,
yeah I know, couldnt find any message anyway. And it was more a :
"Any updates, anything new?" as there never was a software, but there may be now, as software can be written and it wasnt a HW related question. But thanks for your input.
regards
Marco
answering machine prob gave more hits then voice mail

I had a Palm software phone (Treo 600) before my current MDA Compact and the Palm had two programs that i cannot seem to find for this PocketPC, can anyone suggest a program
1/ a Call filter, one that does not pass the calls onto the voicemail a filter that will pick up and drop. The Parm one when you had a blocked call it sounded to the caller that they had been cut off, i have been given SmartFilter but you just end up with lots of voice messages.
2/ Was a SMS response program once set if you recieved a text it would make no sound but would send a reply with a message you had set.
as said two usefull program that i cannot find for PocketPC, have i missed then if so can anyone please tell me the names.
Better still PM to me

I have tried that program and it looks very good but is restricted to only 10 numbers from your contact list. I will keep my eye on this program but as said so far it looks very good.

I have a copy of Smartphone and yes it is good except if anyone calls you and they are blocked it goes straight to the voicemail. So i ended up with voicemails, i think a really good call filter should except the call (silently) and just hang up. Smartphone is good but could be better if it picked up and dropped the unwanted calls instead of pointing them to voicemail.
not quite true
it takes it's divert from the phone 'busy' setting.... I think the default is voicemail on busy, but in the phone settings, you can specify another number other than voicemail... I put in my office number....go to the phone application and then the 'call divertl settings
not sure what you mean by pickup and hangup....sounds a bit rude really to the poor caller!
I don't get what you want?
You want the phone to receive a call, and then just hang it up?

What i am after is simple, work ring me weekends and using Smart Filter i end up with a load of vorce mails i dont want that. Now Call Filter when you choise a number to ignore just hangs up No Call and No Voice Mails - Great. I will be glad when he has finished the program as its grippled to only 0 numbers from your phone book at the moment.
I have search high and low, but have not foudn this feature anywhere.
It is so convenient to have a software that can pick up the phone, play a message, then record it.
It is faster, easier, and you can keep the recording if you want!
i used to have this feature on my old phone, now I miss it...
anyone know of a software that does this?
no.
gigabyte has it on there wm5 phones:
http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=391825
I have seen one aftermarket app that did it also but cant remember the name of it.
It would be kewl if someone had a gigabyte one and could extract it from the extended rom and post it.
since your charged minutes for calling your voicemail to listen to it, this saves you airtime if you have a low minute plan.
try this
k7.net is a free service that provides you with a seattle number that you can use to receive voicemails and faxes. i set it up to send voicemails and faxes to my mda as email. at home i setup my voip phone to copy any voicemail to my mda too. now i get everything to my wizard.
hope this helps,
sl
You'd think this would be a highly sought after feature.
The phone I had almost 3 years ago had this feature. I wonder why it is not so prevalent these days. It is so much quicker and easier than having to dial a voice mail service, or sync messages to the phone.
hmm, maybe this is somethign that should be developed?
Any takers?

Thanks for the thoughts, but I looked at the SMS answering machine before, and while it a novel program, it is really just an auto-responder, not an answering machine.
Thanks again, but I am really looking for something that actaully records voice messages.
:?
Alternative to answering Machine - CallWave
when someone leaves a message you get an email of the message that you can save. www.callwave.com
Ah, callwave is interesting, but alas, only in the US. I am in China now. Thats another reason I don't want to use voice mail. Navigating your voice mail in Chinese is sometimes very annoying.
I guess there is no real solution to this then? So sad, too bad. :?
Does anyone know of any software that will announce the number of an incoming caller?? I would prefer free.. i did a quick search around and all i really found was software to announce the name, but i dont want the name.

I know, NONE want the callers name announced, a lot of my friend even HATE the appearance of full name on LCD during a phone call, so they use a "code" to put the names in ( JSHMob coud mean John Smith HTC ...)
May be the programmer and SW analists are too young to know those business problems!
Yah, MS Voice Command announces the names and sometimes its at inapropriate times or i'm with the wrong people and everyone knows whos calling me... put me in some awkward situations.
If voice command 1.6 worked properly with the hermes you could set it to announce only over the bluetooth headset. Someone has been working on this over at ppcgeeks and made a lot of people happy, however I have yet to get it to work on my cingular 8525.

Hi,
This is my first post, so I just wanted to say that I really appreciate all the support you guys have offered here, this place is probably the most informative source for working on these blasted devices.
I had a question about TAPI, cprog.exe and a couple of applications that are floating around out there. I have noticed a couple applications that appear to "call filter" calls. I was wondering what the basics is for this to work? The applications appear to be independent of cprog.exe but yet claim to control its behavior. The only TAPI call I can find that seems to be relevant is lineSetCallBarringState() but I'm not convinced that would do it... any ideas?
Thank you very much for your time.

I think you probably want lineDrop (or lineRedirect?). You can call lineDrop in the lineCallBackFunc, after you receive lineOffering message.
check out the CeDialer sample, or here's a recent thread about getting caller id.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303050
After you get the ID you can drop the call if you don't like it
hello,
i wondered if it might be possible to develop an application which enables one to send an sms directly to another phone (running this application)
one may wonder, why i want to do such a thing, but for the better understanding, i will it explain it right here:
i moved to another city two weeks ago and i ordered my phone- and dsl-line at "1&1". 1&1 activated my phoneline and dsl 16000kbit/s connection. additionally they sent me a sim-card for my mobile phone. it enables me to call any fixed line number without any cost. and after a bit of research on the 1&1 website i found, that i can buy a second sim. i would be able to call this sim without any cost, too.
but the sms would be, as everywhere else 19€ct/sms.
so i wondered, if it might be possible to write a windows mobile-software that would be able to send some text directly via the cellular line. without passing the sms-gateway.
i thought of: text-to-tone conversion-software which then calls the other phone, which auto-pickups on certain phone-numbers, and then receives the tone-sequence, and converts it back to readable text.
of cause, the better solution would be to send the text digitally, but i don't even know if that might be possible.
any suggestions and ideas are very welcome.
sorry for my bad english, and sorry for the fact, that i will not be often online, cause my own pc is broken, so i have to go online in school.
greetings

Wouldn't this be similar to a fax machine?
Not being obnoxious, but it just sounds difficult since SMS is rather just a quick way to send messages from one phone to another. Calling and sending messages via text wouldn't be fast at all. I'd rather just say what I have to say...
i'd say if it was possible it would require both phones to have the program to interp the data recieved as the right type of sms
it's much like the sms over gprs thing
lemme get this straight, this is essentially an analog modem emulator, so not only would "messages" be able to be sent but files could aswell.
Would it also be possible to make "said" communications when your already on a call? that would be cool
Carnivor calls Rudegar on the phone,
Carnivor really says, "Hi Rudegar, im gonna send you that excel file now"
Rudegar really says, "Ok Carn"
you could have a signal that it sent to trigger the other phones running app to be ready to listen for the signal, then handshake and transmit and recieve data,quick ok msg on the screen, or even have it so you get "transfer completed" in the earpiece once completed you can carry on speaking over the phone.
Rudegar really says, "Thanks Carn, this is really good info, chat chat chat
intresting concept!!
you could intergrate "send data" into the phone app skin so when your in a call its easy to start up,
so it'd be good for small file transfer, or a chat app for ppl that have spare minutes to burn and dont mind not being able to make and recieve calls whilst its running.
but it could have its uses
Hi,
yes it seems to be a modem emulator, while being on my way home yesterday i thought about the problem bypassing that gateway... i thought about an own sms-gateway.
anyone has some information on how a sms gateway works? so i could write one and integrate it into my Fritz!Box or run it on my computer. this would enable me to send sms without cost, because calls and connections inside of the 1&1 VoIP network are costless...
the analog modem emulator would be an excellent idea, too... as it would allow to transmit files and "realtime" chat between one or more people.
so, any ideas on the modem emulator and the gateway are apreciated.
greetings

just Get mxit it doez dat
Get mxit it does what u mean but both phones need have this Client and you need to be online at the same time and if you not it has offline message storage and it doez filesharing to www.mxit.co.za/wap and try smsbug www.smsbug.com

so mxit is a chatrelay for other instant messaging protocols, and one has to be online via GPRS/3G/UMTS/EDGE ... this produces extra cost and is not exactly the thing i wanted to have.
smssbug is a great alternative, if you're sitting in front of a pc, but no alternative for me, as it also produces cost although this is secondary when talking about 3ct/sms.
what about that "modem" emulation? is there any software out in the internet? i haven't found anything via google.
and the next thing i am thinking about is, if it might be possible to digitalize the phone-to-phone communication. or is it limited to analogoue transmission of data, because of the way it is transported over the network?
i haven't looked into the idea with the sms-gateway, but i will look that up as soon as possible, when i have my internet-connection at home.
greetings
